Hasbro A-Wing Scratch Build

Well mixing and pouring went well......i have that in one of the above videos,
forming should be just as good!:thumbsup
 
Hey Mike the new intake looks good and smooth, maybe its my eye but should it have more curve on it like the 1st one? if it does just cast the new one warm it up with some warm water then adjust Wa-La! instant fix.

Hey ray whats up? Which curve were you talking about?
 
On the new one on the left Mike compared to the bigger one the top part. The original has more of a curve and the new one seems a bit flatter I mean I really don't know how it looks on the original A-Wing you would know more than I do since you have built a few.
 
I think the one on the right actually has to much curve, i had to
make the one on the left "Work"......:lol It had to fit the dimensions
I have back there from top to bottom and left to right.
 
Some guns.....

The vector rings look tight Mike, how do you measure them out so they stay alingned becacuse if one is off a little then they all start go crooked whats your secret?
 
Working on the engine detail, used some evergreen strip channel
and right next to each side of the channel a sliver of strip
styrene. You will never see it until it's primed but it loooks
cool because it's lower than the channel on each side.

in the engine was to sloppy. So what to do......?

Now it fits perfect and a 5mm Led fits so tight i don't
even have to glue it.

I leave you with my thought of the day......
"Scratch building models is all about problem
solving if you cant do it, you probably can't make it"
